Someone deleted like 80% of the character list for Suikoden V from yuletide.
I know it was deleted because I nominated the fandom last year and I included all 108 characters and the character list should carry over from year to year.
Who the FUCK would DO something like this?! Who the FUCK thinks they have the right to decide which of the 108 characters are 'important' enough to be included on the character list and which aren't? There's no reason why all 108 shouldn't be able to be included.
We have Internet again at our apartment, hoorayyyyy!
RP later this week. For now, I am tired. I worked 10 hours today.
In other news, Pittsburgh got hit by really bad storms tonight. I ended up staying on campus until 9pm to wait it out. Apparently there was even a tornado watch. I didn't think the storms were such a huge deal (I'm from Houston, after all) until I discovered the ceilings in Wean were leaking. Not like tiny puddles of water but a steady stream pouring down. I ended up using my umbrella while I was still inside the building.
Also, my DSLR should be here on Friday. *flaily dance*
So I am finally getting caught up on mangas. Saturday, I got caught up on Gintama and d.gray-man, and the past two days, with my boss gone at work, I brought in a CD I'd burned with all of the Air Gear chapters I hadn't read yet (Volume 13 & up). So this is my obligatory
whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat
post.
Seriously. WUT. I. Did not see most of those things coming. AND AM VAGUELY CONFUSED. This series has gotten crazy fast. I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHO TO ROOT FOR ANYMORE.
This may not be a relevant question since I'm just curious...and if it seems odd or insulting I appologize. But I never was one to deny curiosity, so here goes.
I can't seem to figure out from your writing whether you're a girl who likes guy-on guy ** or a homosexual guy. I'm usually able to tell what the author's gender is by their writing...but this time I'm stumped, so I had to ask. =P
So I'm too busy to really keep up with LJ for a few days and then I come back and finally have a chance to check my friends page and such, and all of a sudden people are talking about leaving and whatnot. I say: the fuck? 'Kay, so I can't say I really agree with SixApart's actions and tactics, but in the end I am also not afraid to say that I really wasn't too surprised. I always felt like the lack of censorship on LJ was something that wasn't bound to last forever. I'm not saying that's a good or a bad thing. I'm just saying, given the (arguably) offensive and/or illegal content of some fringe groups on here, I'm not surprised that they decided to take action. And yes, I realize that you could argue about free speech and about how the Internet is not tied to any nation or government and so how then can you determine what is illegal etc. etc. etc. But honestly, it's a little late to be bringing that up now. When were all these things a big issue? 5 years ago? 10? And what have we accomplished since then? I'm not saying I agree or disagree. I just think that it's fairly futile at this point.
As for the whole fandom thing, honestly, I think it's all really over-hyped at this point and I don't see what all the fuss is about. If LJ/SA were seriously cracking down on fandom discussions and fanfiction, THEN I'd be concerned, yes. But from what I could tell (and I haven't really been keeping up with all of it because I really just don't give a shit), their scope has been very limited, and there is no reason to believe that they are deliberately targeting fandom. So I really don't understand why people are talking about moving, and all I can say is that if any of you are using this as a reason to leave LJ, don't expect me to follow you. That's not to say that I don't care about you individually, by any means, but I do think that you're seriously overreacting.
Anyway, that's more than enough about that. I know I'm sick and tired of reading all these posts on my flist about "Strikeout 2007" or whatever the fuck they're calling it, so I'm guessing more than a few of you are too. So, onto more important matters.
So yeah. I've been pretty busy. I finally managed to land a second job (within the CEE department) and the good news is that it's unsupervised work, so I can basically work whenever I want. It's taken me a few days to figure out a work schedule that works for me, what with trying to work 6.5-7.5 hours a day on top of having 4.5 hours of class as well. I think I've got it worked out, though. I work from 8 to 9 AM, have class from 9 AM to 12 PM, eat lunch while I work from 12 to 1:30 PM, have class from 1:30 to 3 PM, and work from 3 to 7 PM. That leaves me with 5 hours of work to do over the weekend, which I can either do all on Sunday, or break up into two 2.5 hour shifts. I'll most likely try for the latter; that gives me good reason to get out of bed at 9 or 10 AM and therefore still have a lot of time on the weekends for recreation and homework.
I've been recording my day-to-day activities and happenings in quite a lot of detail at Vox, so I'll just keep it fairly brief here. Other than class and work, I really haven't had time for much else. I have enough homework to keep me busy for most of the rest of each night. The workload is not quite as bad as I feared it might be, but it's still intense enough that by the time I do finish, I'm usually too tired to be very productive. I'm really aching for a break and a chance to enjoy myself a little. I'm glad tomorrow's Friday; I'm sorely in need of the weekend.
On that note, I've been trying to decide what all I want to try and do in my free time. I know I want to sew (I bought a sewing machine last weekend :D), and I'm still looking for a place to take dance classes. But I also really want to write and get back into fandom. I really haven't kept up with any of the series that I liked, not to speak of writing any fanfiction. So I definitely want to remedy that.
SO, on that note, I need your help! I'm a bit lost as to where to start. I'd really like to play a video game, though, since I practically had no time for that at all this entire past year. Here's what I'm considering:
Also, assume (for now) that I only have time to watch ONE (1) new (as in, I haven't seen it before -- it doesn't have to be recent) anime series this summer. What should I watch?
Anyway, I'd better go take a shower and get some work done or something. That way Friday will get here faster, too. The days are still passing a little more slowly than I'd like them to.
Still 10 more weeks from tomorrow. And tomorrow is Felix's birthday, too. ;_; Oh God, why can't it just be August already...
ETA: THIS IS THE THIRD TIME since Spring Break that Yeon Jung came into the bathroom at 8:10 AM and locked the door and I haven't been able to get in since, EVEN THOUGH the rule is that you DON'T lock the door while you shower in the morning. So ONCE AGAIN my choice is to go to class with hair/teeth unbrushed and glasses, or to wait until the bathroom gets unlocked and be late to class.
With fucking BULLSHIT like this all the time, it's no surprise that everyone in our suite fucking hates each other.
I don't know how to deal with this. I'm extremely upset about it. If I wasn't emotionally retarded, I would cry. I really could cry about this. It's so depressing. You think I'm kidding but you have NO idea. It's. It's. It's HORRIBLE!
Not that I was considering it, but if I ever wanted to, I definitely could never date him now because it's just. SO WRONG. Hell, I'm not even sure if I can hang out with him right now, because my heart is going to ache every time I have to see it.
Hi... i really like your story Dance in Slow Motion. the reason i messege you is i want to ask your oppinion or if you don't mind, to borrow your plot for my upcoming story. the story i want to create is similar to yours where the team find out that Yuri is in a relationship, so they wanted to be introduce to the lucky person. Now, instead of having a relationship with Male Conrad, i'm going to twist it into a version of Female Conrad. The problem is, i can't think of a suitable idea to start the story. my head keep getting back to your plot. if you have an idea of how to start, i will appreciate your opinion. Thank you.
Yes, contrary to popular belief (...not really), I am alive. I have been spending most of my Spring Break in front of the sewing machine and not the computer, though.
On the one hand, I am glad that I am actually being productive this Break, as opposed to Winter Break, which in the end was filled with too much of doing nothing. On the other hand, I am mildly stressing because I have a lot of sewing that I still want to do and only so much time remaining before I fly back, and this sucks because Spring Break is supposed to be for de-stressing. Maybe if I can find a job for the remainder of the semester (and find the time for a job, is the bigger problem), I can save enough money to buy my own sewing machine. That way I'll feel better about the fact that I'm not going to get done everything I want to get done by the end of Break.
As for what I'm sewing, explaining it in words wouldn't really do it justice, so you'll just have to wait for pictures. (There will be lots, eventually.) summertea knows! I think you'll be proud, Yinnie-chu. :D ♥
Other than that, not much to say. Had a lunch date with wingsofsapphire this morning. Whee! And then a dinner date with my dad and my sister at The Melting Pot. Yummy yummy fondue. I probably gained back the 20 lbs. I lost since I started college just from this one dinner alone. :3
As for how it was seeing my dad again... *shrug* I really don't have much to say. Mom doesn't understand how I can not really have anything to say about it, but I don't. I'm just... tired. Tired of fighting, tired of always being angry. I'm not by nature an angry person, and I don't really hold grudges; there's a deep-seated resentment that will probably never truly completely go away, but that readily-accessible anger is gone. I'm just empty, and tired.
Still, the situation was saved from being very awkward by my sister's presence. She. Umm. Is apparently hugely obsessed with Bleach now. (Umm, welcome to, what, 2 years ago?!) And she's got dad in on it with her. They watch it together, and she IMs him links to fanfiction at work. And she's totally obsessed with Byakuya. For a while, almost every other sentence that came out of her mouth had something to do with him. That or Buri-myu. It was vaguely ridiculous. Like:
Debby: So what's your favorite song in each of the musicals? Because you have to consider them separately. Nara: Err. I'm supposed to have a favorite song? I haven't even watched it or listened to the soundtrack enough times to have a favorite... Debby: What?! That's crazy. I've watched them both too many times to count. The musicals are totally underrated, you know. I mean, blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah ... Nara: *zones out* Debby: ... blah blah blah blah blah Byakuya blah blah blah blah blah ... Nara: *blinku*
I'm still a little weirded out by this. What can I say? I thoroughly enjoy being a closeted geek. Today's conversations only further reinforced that sentiment in me.
Speaking of restaurants, though, I went to eat at Shogun in The Woodlands with mom on Sunday night. Steve was still manager, and Brittany was still there, as our waitress. It was vaguely awkward, coming back and not working there anymore, but at least Steve still gave me my discount. 30% off! Whoo! I pigged out on sushi. Yummm. ♥
Mom keeps talking about things and saying, "Well, you'll just have to do that when you come home in May," and, "Maybe you should go and try to find a job for the summer already, since you won't be able to look for one while you're still in Pittsburgh, and when you come back it might be too late." I really need to talk to her about how, if I have anything to do with it, I'm not going to be coming home in May. I don't know how to break it to her, though. Especially when I don't really even have any details about cost etc. I know it's not fair to her if I go back to Pittsburgh this weekend without telling her I want to stay and take summer classes, but I don't feel confident doing it until I have all the information, since she probably wouldn't give in without a fight, and if I dive into it headfirst without knowing what I'm talking about, I'm probably screwed. Sigh! Here's to hoping she'll go for it.
Anddd I don't really dread going back nearly as much as I did at the end of Winter Break. Mostly because I miss my boys, especially Felix, a whooole lot. He hasn't called me in a couple of days. ;_; The last time was Monday night, when he was suddenly in D.C. Last I'd checked before that, he'd cancelled his plans with Zeb, but then they were suddenly in D.C. after all. *shrug* I have no fucking clue. All I know is, I really want him to be back on Saturday. Hopefully he'll be there, and maybe he'll even come meet me at the airport. That would totally make my year. And rock my homemade legwarmers off.
Anyway. It's midnight. Still debating whether to go sew some more or just call it a night. In the meantime, I should probably stop this pointless rambly entry. So there. I'm stopping. Good night.
